Nintendo's site says the cartridge must always be inserted in order to play the game, and so it is the cartridge that controls the game license.
On that basis it seems likely you could sell/give the cartridge to someone else, after which they can play it and you no longer can - they'd just also have to download it first.
This is mostly the fault of what people search for.
90% of your average buyers don't go on shopping sites and search "20W USB-C PD Charger" they go on and search "Samsung S22 charger" or whatever they've got.
Sellers are incentivised to design the listings around that, or they simply won't get the clicks.
Given the free and open source nature of Lemmy, I'd suggest that creating an account to raise a feature suggestion - and in that way contribute - would not be an unreasonable expectation at all, rather than the expectation of having other people who are themselves only volunteers jump through all the hoops for you.
I just exported my MAL list, and I suggest others do that too, as a backup. (View your list, there is an export button at the left side)
I don't exactly know what this news means and I dont intend to stop using MAL immediately, but if this is a signal for the beginning of the end for MAL then I wouldn't be surprised if they remove the export ability at some point, to try and stop people from leaving.
Me neither. It's basically a download game but with physical DRM in the form of a cartridge. The age of genuine physical game ownership is toast.
